Sexual minority women's perceptions of sober curiosity
Health Outcomes of Sexual Minority Women Who Have Experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences
Sexual minority women (SMW; e.g., lesbian, bisexual) report higher rates of almost every negative physical health (e.g., asthma, arthritis, cardiovascular disease), mental health (e.g., depression, anxiety), and substance use outcome compared to heterosexual women. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have been identified as risk factors for negative health outcomes. Despite this, no study to date has synthesized existing literature examining ACE…
Intimate Partner Violence Among Sexual Minority Women
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is prevalent among sexual minority women (SMW). However, compared to IPV research with heterosexual women and other LGBTQ+ population groups, SMW are understudied. We conducted a scoping review to examine the current state of knowledge about IPV among SMW, and to identify gaps and directions for future research. A search of Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases returned 1,807 papers published between Janu…
What We Lose When We “Don’t Say Gay”
At a time when anti-LGBTQ+ legislation is on the rise in more than a dozen states across the United States, social work providers and researchers must be acutely aware of the ways in which their practice may unintentionally invalidate the identities of LGBTQ+ youth. Concurrently, language used in the LGBTQ+ youth community to describe both sexual identity and gender has moved away from monosexual and binary labels toward nonmonosexual and nonbina…
Psychotherapeutic interventions for LGBTQ + youth
Learning, doing and sticking with it
People with serious mental illness (SMI; e.g. schizophrenia) have mortality rates two to three times higher than the general population, largely due to a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Healthy lifestyle interventions can improve the health of people with SMI, but information about why these interventions work for some and not others is scarce. Our study aims to qualitatively explore differences in these two groups' overall exp…

Experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic among African American, Latinx, and White sexual minority women
From a systems perspective, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused global changes impacting the lives of individuals at all levels of interactions. Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with a sample of 18 African-American/Black, Hispanic/Latina/Latinx, and White sexual minority women (SMW) to explore experiences and adaptations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Interviews were analyzed using a descriptive phenomenological approach to understand h…
From the Ivory Tower to the Treatment Trenches
The evidence-based practice (EBP) movement in social work has challenged the traditionally insular relationship between research and practice, demonstrating a critical need for more reciprocity. Despite a proclaimed commitment to EBP in social work, an implementation gap persists (Bellamy, Bledsoe, & Traube, 2006). This commentary identifies factors that have contributed to the gap between research and practice and proposes solutions to bridge th…

Understanding Alcohol and Marijuana Use among Sexual Minority Women during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Sexual minority women (SMW; e.g., lesbian, bisexual, queer) are at increased risk for heavy/hazardous drinking and marijuana use, which may be exacerbated by stress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate its spread (e.g., sheltering at home). To explore their experiences and perceptions of alcohol and marijuana use in the context of COVID-19, qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with a diverse sample of 16 SMW fro…
